We are running from a Toshiba Laptop C75D-B7202. We have over 600 gigs of free space. It appears that our site is around 80 Gigs. System is Windows 10 Home Version 1809 OS Build 17763.864.

Hello, @aanola
You can check our documentation about the snapshots and the backups:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/images/
Backups are retained for four weeks, but snapshots are retained for the life of your account.
Since you’re running a WordPress site you can install a plugin to backup your site locally on the droplet or to any external host as well. This is totally up to you.
Let me know if you have any questions.
